Hides the play-triangle icon that YouTube inserted in front of
the view count on thumbnails. The accompanying JS expands the
shortened time-ago text and restores the interpunct delimiter.

YouTube renamed these view-model classes from the hyphenated
"-wiz__" form to camelCase, which is why the last selector exists.
The hyphenated selectors stay for surfaces still served the old
markup. Target the leading icon by name rather than every icon in
the row, so the channel verified badge keeps rendering.
